Sampling Plan Development and Implementation
Obtaining defensible data from field sampling operations is a critical first step in any type of environmental impact assessment. Unnecessary costs and delays can occur when a field sampling effort produces unrepresentative and invalid data.  The Environmental Standards Chemistry and Geosciences Departments work together to prepare and review Sampling and Analysis Plans (SAPs).  A SAP must document the location and type of each sample, the correct sampling and analysis methods, and the proper number of QC samples to be included in the investigation in order to meet the project data quality objectives (DQOs).
